NumLock deactivated

Every time I start up win 2000 the NumLock key deactivates itself and I have to press it to use the numeric part of the keyboard. That's not a very big problem, but it's very irritating. Does someone have a clue?

Try setting numLock on and rebooting it "should" now save this setting for you.

You need to edit the registry. See (Q154529)from Microsoft. Here are the instructions.
To enable NUM LOCK before a user logs on, use the steps below.
Run Registry Editor (Regedt32.exe).
Navigate to HKEY_USERS\.Default\Control Panel\Keyboard.
Change the value for InitialKeyboardIndicators from 0 to 2.

If you are going to edit your Registry just remember to back it up, you could screw your system up pretty bad if you type something in wrong
